Ben Smith , Todd and Coles. Ben Smith has to be in the All Black great category now, he is a treasure.
Be interesting who gets the World Player of the Year award. Not sure whether a raft of AB contenders could take one-another out, but It would be between Ben Smith, Dane Coles and Beauden Barrett for me - and right now, I've probably got Ben edging it.
I would've had Barrett, although one thing Coles might have over the others is captaining his super side to victory...
General play, I'd probably agree. I guess I'm holding Beaudy's goal kicking a bit against him. Someone's doubtless got stats for it - but, I doubt he's at 70% for the ABs or the whole year.

We probably didn't have a standout performer for 80 this match or even 70.
Probably Ben Smith comes close, but he made a mistake or two. But overall he was our best and most consistent performer.
Todd, Crotty, Savea did a lot of good things but like everyone there were errors.
Some interesting stats, we missed 24 tackles which is high. But OZ had a mountain of possession and they missed 20 tackles of their own.

After a relaxed re-watch, I change my votes and go for Coles, TJP and Smith as they were consistent. Todd missed that tackle on Arnold and Savea was not good enough in the first half.
Worst performances were Barrett's because of his goalkicking, and Cruden's because of his kicking from hand. -

A pity for Todd that his one missed tackle stands out more than all the other missed tackles in the game - also in that lead up he'd actually made a crucial tackle which helped stop a try being scored earlier.

Hmmmm, so my placing Kaino first based on some rock star tackles looking shaky.

4 misses by Moody is a worry!

I think that's his "thing" to go along with Franks' "must begin with an offside penalty".

Our entire team was offside the first few phases, until the ref puts down the marker.
I spent the first minute if the match (internally) shouting at us to get onside.

Nope, look at the amount of votes Savea got and his first half performance was one of the worst by an AB ever, yet two tries in the last 20 have sealed his top 3 placing.

Worst performance by an AB ever. Lol, you're on quite a crusade against him aren't you?

@No-Quarter my guess is that was a big piece of bait that Nepia has had sitting waiting to use...

It is getting to Davidavesque levels.

He's been trying to bait people ever since Savea proved him wrong again after the match. He's getting more and more extreme with each comment, now he's just taking the piss.
All I can say about Savea is thank fuck Hansen and co are selectors and not some of the blokes on here, without his performance that game could have gone down to the wire.

Yeah, true enough, still - I'd be interested to see how often it's Franks that gives away the first penalty and for offside - I wouldn't be surprised if it's half the games this year.

@No-Quarter He was awesome in that final 20, I can acknowledge that, I find it weird that others can't acknowledge how bad he was in that first half.

Piss off, I just don't fawn over him like you guys do, that last 20 was the old Savea we haven't seen for a while, but that first half was shit.

Yeah sure....if a while is since his last game.
